So funny listening to the tards crying about Trump and his ‘white supremacy’. Tards gotta tard. Always.
Implying Biden didn't refuse to denounce left wing violence. "Antifa is an idea not an organization" was a dog whistle to far left extremists that he will not denounce a decentralized group of radical insurrectionists and their ideology. Fair question, by the way, because if the "Proud Boys" approximate the far right, then Antifa is certainly the radical arm of the far left. He further gave credence to the far left idea of white guilt and white fragility through critical race theory and that "people need to be aware of other people". What he meant was the self flaggelating dog-and-pony show exclusively made to disenfranchise and humiliate whites called critical race theory is a valid form of "racial awareness". And you will say "the FBI director said white supremacy is very evil and antifa is not an organization". Antifa is certainly organized. They are organized for only as long as necessary - that is however long it takes for a shipment of molotovs and bricks to arrive. Further, Biden refused to even address the question of packing the courts. The very act of which would undermine America's last bastion, the supreme court, for many years. He also failed to acknowledge the dramatic increase in crime in several democrat run states, instead citing the fake news statistic that "its worse in Republican states". My greater point being if Trump is a "white supremacist" then surely Biden is a far-left insurrectionist. Congratulations on demonstrating why the debates were pointless because everyone is already decided anyway. The better more realistic answer to the debates is it was a completely pointless circus of two of the oldest candidates in history insulting each other like children, probably the worst moderator in history, and a demonstration that the country is truly in perilous times. Trump acted like a buffoon but let's not pretend that Biden was some sort of debate champion. He failed in all sorts of ways the country won't forget as well.
It like denouncing everyone who who decides they are "Buddhist', and denouncing anti fascism as a thing, is insane and anathema to Western values. Anti fascism will stop once the fascists stop looking like a threat. It's an immune response, trained in by thousands of hours spent watching good guys killing Nazis as kids. Blame Indiana Jones. You don't have to fall into stupid traps, just say no. He clearly denounced violence,
He has done it repeatedly and denounced all of these groups. You may not have seen it but that doesn't mean it wasn't done. Repeatedly.
He prevaricated. He equivocated. He was trying to thread the needle. He didn’t want to alienate his bigot contingent.
I see Trump as the gatekeeper of our system that rewards work and innovation. I see Biden as representing a grab for power that rewards political loyalty above all else. Trump and Biden are national embarrassments, even though they successfully navigated their primaries against a crowded field. I’m talking about the 2016 Republican primaries for Trump, of course. Our political process is severly dysfunctional for not attracting better qualified, no, minimally qualified Presidential candidates. I can understand the appeal for Trump in 2016 with his name calling, etc., because it was a “Fook you” to the establishment that a large number of voters felt disenfranchised with. The problem for Trump now is we are almost four years into his leadership and he has, by extension, become part of the establishment. There are multiple national crises going on now and voters want a reasoned and problem solving approach rather than an obsolete campaign technique. While Trump certainly has skills, he was never mistaken for a genius, to put it mildly, as he does not seem able to read the writing on the wall directly front of him. Both parties have been grossly insubordinate to the American voter. Mitch’s lie on Supreme Court Justice nominations close to an election and Democrat Supreme Court stacking and fillibuster threats, among many other things. We need a purge, but the politicians are not going to do it by themselves. It will take the people working together to do that. Perhaps this is the reason politicians and the media are constantly fostering discontent. “Let’s keep them at each other’s throats so they leave us alone”. The answer is we the people must force change ourselves. Perhaps the leadership of radical right wing groups could meet with radical left wing groups and they could forge a new government. Pie in the sky? Probably, but it would be nice to turn the tables on the establishment that has been pitting us against each other for so long. Hopefully heir apparent, Kamala Harris, will have the balls to go beyond party lines and address the fundamental needs of our system: A representative form of Government that is responsive to the needs of the people, which includes most of us feeling we are part of the same team. Sure, both sides are not going to see eye to eye on many issues. But so what? As long we recognize each other as thinking, feeling people who want the best for our communities, progress will be made. Kamala seems the smartest of the four, but she may be missing practical knowledge on critical subjects. I am rooting for her to show up the three old men in the debates who continue to try working well past their expiration date. Excuse me, retirement age. Lights, Kamala, action!
